Flying umbrellas, larger-than-life balloons, giant kites floating over the audience, and the biggest snow globe - all under one roof.

The Air Play show is a modern spectacle that will bring to life the very air we breathe at the Baycourt and community art centre tonight and tomorrow.

Air Play is a circus-styled adventure of two siblings journeying through a surreal land of air, transforming the ordinary into objects of uncommon beauty.

Fabrics dance in the wind, balloons have a mind of their own, confetti turns into the night sky, and an enormous canopy of hovering silk brings to life the very air we breathe.

The masterminds behind Air Play - husband and wife team Seth Bloom and Christina Gelsone - have been working on the performance for five years collaborating with an air sculpture named Daniel Wurtzel.

The main component to the show is a ring of fans, which they use to alter the movements of certain objects.

Christina says Daniel already had fans for them to work with, but usually when he places his fans into a museum for his sculpture he only has to set it up once to fit the space.

'We don't have that luxury, because we are moving from theatre to theatre, every theatre as it turns out has its own weather system, so we have to compensate in each theatre and test the fan and make predictions,” says Christina.

These predictions are as accurate as possible through the use of wireless fans, however everything can change when the audience shows up.

'When the audience shows up their heat changes the weather patterns, so their body heat will start rising and the cold air will come from the back of the stage, making a new circulation.”

The most challenging act that they do is where they fly a piece of silk above the audiences' head. The movement of the silk changes depending on their heat and the environment, making it curl up, fly low or touch the top of the ceiling.

'It keeps it interesting for us- we never get bored, because by the end of the show I'm always thankful we made it through,” says Christina.

The show will also be completely silent, other than a range of different genres of music, such as avant garde, classical and choir music.

'We always preform without words so that we can travel everywhere without a language barrier,” says Seth.

'The story line is very loose and opened ended, so we call it more of a poem, and it's done that way intentionally so it's not so narrative based, but anyone who is watching it does certainly feel and understand very clearly what's happening,” says Christina.

Seth says while developing the show they were really pushed to have an underlining narrative and due to them being a man and a woman, people wanted something romantic.

'During our travels internationally we found that romantic stories are told differently in different cultures- we wanted to make something much more universal, so we found that the story of friendship or a child growing up everyone can relate to,” says Seth.

'We are really lucky with a show like this that you can come as a 20 year old by yourself or on a date or you can come as grandparents, parents and kids everyone will take something from the show differently.”

The Air Play show will be on Tuesday October 9 from 7.30pm-8.30pm, Wednesday October 10 from 2pm-3pm and 6pm-7pm at the Baycourt Community and Arts Centre, on 38 Durham Street.
